Procrastinating

I am procrastinating on some of my bigger projects by finishing off some of the smaller ones. I don't know what stops me from finishing some things off, but it's good to spend some time catching up now and then. After finishing the applique, it was good to get this pincushion made up on Friday. It's from a free tutorial by Leonie Bateman. It was very enjoyable sewing, and I'd like to do more with woven wool in the future. Thank you Leonie.

I did this cross stitch earlier in the year but couldn't find the blog where the design came from. I stumbled across it again last week so found some finishing ideas. If you like pears and cross stitch you should definitely check out Marly's blog.

And these 1/2" hexies have been hanging around for quite some time. They are now a nice little spring clip purse.......because I need another purse as much as I need another pin cushion!

Sometimes it feels good to get some smaller finishes, gives you back the urge to tackle those bigger ones. Loving all of your smaller projects they are amazing! Seeing your little pear makes me want to resurrect mine that I made......but it would involve some unsewing and resewing...... Maybe not.lolHappy sewing

Why not collect pin cushions and purses, it is a harmless pursuit and certainly cheaper then race horses or Royal Doulton china! I love the pear and the purse. The pin cushion pattern hasn't been downloaded...yet!

your wool pin cushion is just gorgeous Susan. Wool is so lovely to work with. Have done a couple of classes recently with wooden spool designs which is mainly what she works in and I have fallen in love with it. Love your cross stitch pear too

Dear Susan, lovely projects, good you made a little clip purse and a pincushion, because that is what you still needed......could not have resisted both of them and the cross stitched pear is wonderful too.Greetings,Sylvia

I am sure you will fire up with the bigger projects when the time is right...love the pincushion and the pear they are both so cute and the little purse is great too...good to get some finishes and you have three!!!!

Such cute projects!I often procrastinate big projects in favour of small. I like little things, and goodness knows I do not need another quilt in this house. Also, it is easier for me to give the little things away.

About Me

I have been consumed by patchwork since I started my first quilt in 1994. I love hand piecing, hand quilting and stitcheries. When I'm not sewing,I'm enjoying my family - one lovely husband, three wonderful boys, and a sweet little dog. I am a fair weather gardener,and a constant renovator, but it usually all comes back to the stitching in the end!
